Make some friends before you find out all the people you would've made friends with this summer actually have boats and loads of frequent flyer miles they couldn't get rid of fast enough. Either that or they are very sweet, loving people who will save your life someday. Either/or! San Francisco would like to see you at 6pm on June 2nd (that is tomorrow!) at Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. You're so silly, SF. Portland, Melbourne, DC, and Cleveland — among many other locales — have soirees in the works over here. And if you have created a Hairpin Facebook group for your area, please let us know in the comments!

@phlox yeah I'm getting into baseball but for 12 bucks it's a pretty good time especially if you're with a rowdy crowd/surrounded by some rowdy people.

We could all plan to meet at the steamwhistle patio beforehand for supercheap beers (something I did not know about it's like $4 pints) or, my usual method, meet in the park for even cheaper illegal drinking in public. heh.

@redheaded&crazie I don't give a crap and a half about baseball but I want to drink and be belligerent and yell at the players! I can do any time really, because I work regular 9-5 M-F hours and I work in Liberty Village, which is like a 10 minute bus ride away.

@olivebee
You guys should really have one in the suburbs...on the weekend. How can I work all day in Naperville, party all night in Logan Square, and still take care of my kids?
Don't mind me. I'm not demanding. Or whiney.

@Mandalas Sort of. Not really. I'm over in Naples (again, not really but small town skirting Naples). I'm not trying to contribute nothing w/this reply....I was sort of thinking we can establish a loosely defined area (flanking Alligator Alley, roughly) and then others within our borders might respond. I fear there's just not enough of us to merit a group on each coast.

Our next event is Saturday June 16th - we'll be doing laser tag in Glendale and then celebrating the fact that we just beat the crap out of teenagers at laser tag by eating our combined weight in Korean bbq.

omg chicago!!! this is my first ever comment on the hairpin because i am so excited for this 'pinup and have been reading this website for months secretly wishing all the post and comment contributors were my irl BFF.
